Area II Organizers Support the Classic Three-Day Format in the Road to the Three-Day Challenge

Some of the most valuable awards at the Waredaca Classic Three-Day Event on October 21-23, 2022, were the prizes for the Road to the Three-Day Challenge. The Challenge started in July and ended at the Waredaca Classic in October. Novice and Training level riders had to compete in at least three of the events in the Challenge and Beginner Novice riders had to compete in at least two of the events, in addition to completing the Waredaca Classic.

At the end of the Challenge, the winning riders were: Alexa Briscoe riding her 13-year-old Thoroughbred gelding Zempat (Lemon Drop Kid x Sohgol) in the Training division, Stephen Fulton riding Levremont Farm Llc's 20-year-old Irish Draught mare Padi’s Celtic Measure (Mountain Pearl x Magrathea) in the Novice division, and Luba Abrams with her 15-year-old Welsh Cob gelding Huey in the Beginner Novice division. Each winning rider was awarded entries to each of the participating events for 2023.
